Plans brewing for new Alfreton micropub
Alfreton firm Architectural Building Design Services have applied for a change of use for the former Nationwide branch at 33 High Street on behalf of a Mrs F Grotier of Somercotes.
The applicant’s submission said: “The idea of a micro-pub is for the public to enjoy local ales and beers in an atmosphere away from the usual noise of a traditional pub.”

The intention is to convert the ground floor into a small split-level drinking area with new toilets.
Built between 1880 and 1898 the building is facing brickwork with a slate roof, and has undergone several alterations in its lifetime.
The exterior of the building will be unchanged, apart from a non-illuminated signboard on the front where the current signboard is.

The application says the business would create two full-time and four part-time jobs, and could open 11am to 11pm, seven days a week.
The council is expected to make its decision in June.
